We live in an age of symptomization. Do people really have these medical ailments (often psychological in nature) or did we just come up with a new name for an old behavior?
Especially when it comes to kids, we tend to turn every trait into a symptom that is too often treated by a self-appointed expert.
Check out these so-called illnesses and see if you’ve suffered any of these symptoms.
- Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder
- Morgellons Syndrome (Ever sprout fibers or crystals from your skin? If so, you’ve got it).
- Sibling Rivalry Disorder
- Mathematics Disorder
- Caffeine-Related Disorders
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder - See if you’ve know a kid who has this: “Children who display such frequent and aggressive defiance of their parents that it disrupts the lives of those within the family.”
